Find the slope of the line through these points:

(-3, 0) and (2,-1).

ok slope - Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

so the slope for this problem is (5,-1) ? right

__________________________________________________________

(5,-1) and (3,0).

so the slope is (-2,1) Right?

slope = ( y2 -y1) / (x2-x1)

slope = ( -1 - 0) / ( 2 - -3)

slope = -(1 / 5)

Note the slope is a number not a set of points.
